1) If someone had the reading skills to detect AI generated content wouldn't that technically be something very hard to monetize? It's not like said person could clone themselves or mass produce said skill.

Also, for a large number of AI generated images and text (especially low-effort), even basic reading/perception skills can detect AI content. I would agree though that people can't reliably discern high-effort AI generated works, especially if a human was involved to polish it up.

2) True—human "detectors" are mostly just gut feelings dressed up as certainty. And as AI improves, those feelings get less reliable. The real issue isn’t that people can detect AI, but that they’re overconfident when they think they can.
